EDUCATION
PATHWAY
Our Education Pathway is designed to empower high-achieving girls and boys and provide them with opportunities to chase their dreams and become the next generation of leaders, while football remains a key part of their journey.
We identify student-athletes who are excelling academically and meeting our character development milestones with top scholarship opportunities in the US and UK. Ever since our first student-athlete landed a scholarship in 2004, we’ve built a network of partnerships with some of the world’s top high schools, colleges, and universities.
To date, 89 of our student-athletes have made their mark both on the field and in the classroom. Among them are remarkable graduates like Shakur Mohammed, a Duke University alumnus now playing at Orlando City, and Joy Okonye, currently studying at Brown University - an Ivy League institution.
When our graduates embark on their educational journey in the United States, our dedicated team, led by Chief Development Officer for the USA, Ron Del Mont, ensures they are supported every step of the way. Together with our network of host families, partner institutions, volunteers, and alumni, we ensure their safety, facilitating a smooth transition into this exciting new chapter of their lives.
Concurrently, the team manages relationships with our partner institutions, comprising of high schools, colleges, universities, and athletic clubs.
“The opportunity to contribute to the emerging excellence with an organization rooted in purposeful pathways for children and young adults to fulfil their dreams is my most rewarding experience yet."
Ron Del Mont,
Chief Development Officer, USA
